I have a Grudig TK40 reel 2 reel that does not work.

I have a Grudig TK40 that my mom wants fixed. Where in Boston, MA can I get it checked and fixed? I plug it in nothing happens. She has had this for 40yrs. It's the only recordings we have of my father before I was born.

I cant tell you where it take it to get it fixed, but I can offer some advice, as I've recently got a TK41 grundig reel to reel machine.

I'm assuning that the unit has not been used for a while, as mine wasn't.

Mine had the same fault, it was dead when it was plugged in. Knowing that it hadn't been used for some years, I summised that the on off switch was probably dirty... I squirted some switch cleaner in and around the switch...wiggled the switch on and off for a few mins...then plugged in and hey presto it worked!

I hope this info may help you.

PS. maybe you should look into getting the tapes converted onto CD/MP3, so you have a back up.

Mount your reel on your rod. Run the line from your filler spool thrthrough the bottom guide of your rod. Pass the line througo the line guide on your reel and tie your line to your reel using an arbor knot. Put a pencil or dowel rod through your filier spool and have someone hold light tension on the spool as you reel line onto your reel.

We also have a Gateway Computer purchased in 2001 with the Boston Digitanl BA735 speakers. We ran into a similar problem when we upgraded from Windows ME to Windows XP, with no sound after the upgrade. After consulting with computer stores and "Geek Squad", it was finally determined that Windows XP set the speakers for analog not digital. Once that was reset, our sound returned. Hope this works for you.
